The sentence written correctly looks like:
Brush your teeth; rinse thoroughly when you finish.

That is because "Brush your teeth" and "rinse thoroughly when you finish" are both independent phrases.

They can be joined together by either a period, or a semicolon. You can also join it using a comma and a conjunction.

The correct answer is C. teeth
